Supported care

Who can apply to be a Supported Carer?

Supported Carers are as diverse as the young people they look after. You can be single, married or in a long-term stable relationship. You can own your own home, rent a house or be in receipt of benefits. As long as you have a spare bedroom that can be used for supported care, you are over 21 years old and have time to offer a young person, Family Connections is waiting to hear from you.
